Chelsea complete the signing of Brighton striker Danny Welbeck.

The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward, 35, has signed a two-year deal at Stamford Bridge. Neither club have said what the transfer fee is. Welbeck scored a career-high 13 league goals in 37 games for Brighton last season, with only three English players scoring more in the Premier League. He becomes Chelsea's third signing of the summer, following Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa and Marco Palestra from Atalanta. "When you hear of the interest from Chelsea, it's something that fills you with such immense pride," said Welbeck. "I know a few of the boys already and I've had fantastic conversations with the manager and already feel that connection. "I've got that fire in my belly and I'm ready to give it everything for this club to make everyone at Chelsea, and the supporters, proud." Welbeck represents a change in transfer strategy from Chelsea's owners, who have predominantly looked to sign younger players since their takeover in 2022. His arrival also raises question marks about the future of Chelsea's other centre-forward options.
